I love the style, shape and support of this bra when new. The back does come up slightly looser than other makes so I also have one in a 30G instead of a 32FF. I have 3 of these bras but won't be buying any more as the back material soon becomes very thin and stretchy so it no longer supportive. Such a shame! (I always handwash my bras so that's not the reason!). I shall be sticking with the Fantasie Serene.

This is the only style bra I own as it pulls me into a nice shape and is supportive and quite frankly, I have yet to find any other bra that does the job just as well! My only issue is I wish Bravissimo/Panache would keep the coloured versions stocked ALL of the time as my stash of black and nude is quite boring! If you change size you are unable to replace a previous coloured bra which are so pretty. PLEASE give us MORE COLOURS MORE OF THE TIME!!!!!

I have been wearing the Tango for a few years now as it is the only bra I can get to fit me properly and gives good support (I am a 32K) the under band does dig in a bit by the end of the day but generally quite comfy, my only gripe is that it does tend to separate you a bit, having really full bosoms I do feel like they start under my arms and would prefer them a bit more upfront! Could we also have this in a smoother fabric as the embroidery shows under finer fabrics that you would wear for more dressy occasions and it spoils the look.

Great everyday essential! Fantastic fit & support, I've been buying this bra for a few years now & wouldn't be without it! If it was available without the embroidery, it would be even better as the embroidery can be seen through t-shirts. Also, if this bra was available in more colours, that would be great! I would recommend this bra for any lady who has large assets!

I have been buying this bra style for years, in various colours. I find it the best style for my shape. My last one didn't last as long, the side wire broke on both sides making it impossible to wear and very painful! Not sure if the manufacturing process has changed?
I've ordered a new one, I hope this one lasts longer!

Bravissimo customer services: Sorry to hear that you have had a problem with the Tango bra you have purchased, we would certainly not expect this to happen so soon, Please contact our customer service team on 01926 459859 so we can help further.

I recently flew home from Australia, whilst there, I went shopping for new bras so I could get my sizing for future online ordering.
I was sized for 40f however, the wire simply dug in under my arms and boob. I went back following week and explained to the store. So I was given size 38f, so I said yes to that size, and took in a few colours... found different colours fitted differently. Nude I had to go another size same with white. Now I have random sizes, in different colours.
Panache have changed suppliers so the material at the back is different now, also there is different fitting where the wire is. This is why many have issues with the sizing. Panache are supposedly looking into it whether it is fixed or not I don't know.
As for me, I now have to try figure out sizing before ordering bras. This is highly inconvenient for me as to return anything from Oz home costs $60 for small package.
I'm quite upset and don't know what to do now.

Bravissimo customer services: Hi Rach. We're sorry to hear that you've had some issues finding a size and style to suit you, and we just wanted to let you know that you can email us here at Customer Services for help at any time. We can also arrange to call you back during our opening hours- as we start at 8.30 am weekdays, we'd catch you late afternoon/evening in Australia, to help with any fitting advice you need. Panache have changed the wing fabric of the Tango range slightly so it is a little less stretchy in all new Tango bras and may feel more snug at first for some ladies; however the Panache sizing and suppliers haven't changed. Whilst we are selling through our older stock, you may notice a difference in firmness between the different colours of Tango bras.

I know Bravissimo say that nothing has changed with the panache manufacturing process but I completely agree with so many of the reviews. I have worn this brand for a few years and had no problems but this time...the underwire poked out after only a handful of wears! Very disappointed this time.

We're here from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm Monday to Friday and 9.00 am to 5.00 pm on Saturdays.

I love the Tango Bra and have exclusively bought this bra for quite a few years. I also love that each year, there are a couple of new colours introduced to the range. Unfortunately, over the last few months, I've experienced issues with wires breaking or popping through the material, and on one occassion, I had only worn it for a couple of hours! I am really disappointed as I'm not convinced I will find such a brilliantly fitting, supportive bra again! Please, please, lets get this issue sorted, us big busted beauties need the Tango Bra in our lives!

Bravissimo customer services: Hi Lee,
Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you have had an issue with this bra recently and for any disappointment that this has caused you. Please contact our Customer Services Team directly if you would like to discuss this as the wiring of a bra can come through for a variety of reasons. We certainly would not expect this to happen on the 1st wear so I do apologise.

I have worn this style of bra since 2010, since getting a lovely purple one to wear under my purple wedding dress. After putting on a little weight I have gone up a back size and just bought a black one and as always it fits perfectly. I have bought various colours and love the fit of this bra, it's comfy and supportive. I was sad to notice that you no longer do the other colours as I cannot wear the balconette style of this bra as the wires dig into me between the cups. Please make more colours in the Tango plunge bra.

I can't wear the Tango balconette as the underwires stick into my chest painfully regardless of size, so I buy the Plunge instead, and I love it - it's my go-to bra on days when my top is thick enough to be able to hide the pattern (and if not I'm usually wearing a padded bra anyway). It offers more support than other plunge bras I've worn and the accompanying underwear is really comfortable and looks gorgeous. They last for quite a while, and the shape's great - not too pointed and not too round. My only disappointment is that they've stopped doing them in the gorgeous seasonal colours that you get from the balconette, which I think is very unfair on those who can only wear the plunge; I'd be buying them more or less every season if they were still doing them!

I love the fit of this bra and was lucky enough to purchase it when it came in different colours. It is one of the few that I have purchased online that doesn't dig in under my arms. Will continue to purchase but would love it to come in more colours.

I recently watched a youtube video which explained how to measure yourself properly and how a good bra should be, after remeasuring I went down 2 band sizes and up 3 cup sizes so needed to get a lot of new bras and this is the first one I've tried.
It is really good because it fits well and feels supportive without being constricting.
I wasn't expecting it to be sheer and not padded (I clearly didn't pay attention to the description) and was concerned when I first put it on because this is not my usual style, but I like this bra and would definitely consider buying some of the other colours as well.
